Before Ruan Qiao could ask any more questions, she continued, “Sister Dani isn’t pregnant at all!”

Dani is the pregnant woman in Ruan Qiao’s hospital room.

Alina blurted out everything she knew: “Dani and I discovered the secret of the surgeries here a long time ago. They select patients from the red ward and then take suitable patients to the operating room. But none of the people who go there come out again, so Dani pretends to be pregnant. Pregnant people are too complicated to operate on, so they won’t choose her.”

“Cough cough, at first we were all in the yellow ward, but sunbathing every day didn’t stop the condition from getting worse,” Alina said, her tone somewhat forlorn. “I had a good friend who went to the red ward before me, and I never saw him again after that.”

Children like Alina often don’t trust adults much and find it easier to have fun with their peers. Ruan Qiao recalled the photo she saw when she first entered the game; it was the profile of a little boy with a serious illness.

A pendant was also found under the pillow on the operating table.

She took the teddy bear out of the necklace and handed it to Alina: “Do you recognize this?”

The little girl’s eyes immediately reddened. She reached out and accepted the teddy bear: “This is a gift for him. We were brought here together. Everyone outside says that this disease can only be cured here, so we don’t have to wait to die elsewhere.”

“All the nurses and patients who have doubts about this place will be sent to Dr. Christopher. When they come out again, they won’t have any more wild thoughts.” Alina wiped away her tears, calmed herself down for a moment, and then said, “We can’t show any dissent or doubt about this place. Those who didn’t change their minds eventually disappeared. Nobody knows where they went along with the people who had surgery.”

She pointed to the hanging rope: “This room is Nurse Ethan’s. She and Dr. Kevin have a very bad relationship. I was shocked at first, but then I found that everyone in the nursing home was used to the head nurse’s presence. I discovered that they don’t know what’s done here, because there are surveillance cameras everywhere else. There are even people who follow you and eavesdrop on every word you say to others.”

Alina’s analysis was as sharp as a tiger’s, and she didn’t look like an eight-year-old girl at all. Her pale face had a calm expression, but her big eyes were still a little red: “I drew a map of all the places I saw here, but later they moved me to the red ward, and I can’t run around anymore.”

Because there was no paper or pen, she could only use a broken iron pipe to carve maps on the ground, which she then piled up with other odds and ends: “There was only one place in the entire sanatorium that led down the mountain; the rest of the place was electrified and guarded. Then these strange things appeared——they are called surveillance cameras, although I’ve never seen them outside. Anyway, after that, it became even harder to escape.”

On Alina’s map, there was a circle drawn around the first floor of the operating room.

Areas that are off-limits.

[Bullet screen] [Wei Tan] This girl is really strong!

[Bullet screen] [Fat Sea] The only NPC with any intelligence is actually an eight-year-old girl.

[Bullet Screen] [Wen Nian] 6666666

[Bullet screen] [A Moment of Pleasure] A sanatorium version of Prison Break??

Ruan Qiao asked, “So, what exactly is wrong with you guys?”

The little girl ran to the corner, fiddled with the small boxes piled up there for a while, and pulled out a yellowed and tattered booklet: “This is the last fairy tale book. I wouldn’t have let you see it if you hadn’t promised to take me out.”

Ruan Qiao took the fairy tale book, opened it, and glanced at it.

Her flashlight’s battery was low, and the light was already very weak.

She quickly finished reading the rest of the story.

“Spiritual Spring, Air, and Gold Coins IV”

The little princess was skeptical, but she still led her guards to the third mountaintop.

The gold coin tree grows on a cemetery, where tens of thousands of cold tombstones stand as far as the eye can see.

The gold coin tree gleams with gold, and each gold coin is engraved with a person’s portrait.

The little princess took all the gold coins, and the gold coin tree withered instantly.

Back at the palace, the little oriole was waiting for her in the back garden.

“My dear princess, these are coins of hope. Each coin is strung on a white ribbon and given to the sick by the king himself, so that they can drive away illness.”

The grand exorcism ceremony began, with all the patients dressed in white kneeling in the square.

The king first hung a ribbon of gold coins around the queen’s neck, then stepped down from the altar and gave his people hope for healing one by one.

——The King’s Touch.

It is the only way to cure the disease.

Everyone was cured, and the little princess was overjoyed. She immediately wanted to tell the oriole in the back garden the good news.

But when she excitedly returned to the palace, she only discovered the oriole’s corpse under the tree.

Its small chest was opened, its once lively eyes were tightly closed, and its whole body was ice cold.

Blood stained the ground beneath the rose bushes.
